Saeco Magic Comfort Plus dumps brewed coffee into dredge drawer. Coffee is ground, then brewed as it should be...but winds up in the dredge drawer instead of being dispensed properly

First remove brew unit and clean the shower screen that is under the red gasket, then adjust the grind about 2 numbers coarser, then try making a coffee, if you have the same problem then the steam valve needs to be replaced.
try to clean the machine run a complete brewing cycle using white vinegar in place of water. Follow with 2 complete cycles using plain water. Water quality in many places is not so good. The heat of the brewing process causes the solids (calcium, lime, &tc) in the water (especially HARD water) causes scale to form on the inside of the tubing. This not only affects the taste of the coffee (or even tea), but slows the brewing time by preventing water flow due to decreased diameter of the tubing.
